Love those stories. I too have the same car. My father owned it when a was a little boy and I was totally in love with it. He sold it in 1980 and my brother bought the car back in 2013 , restored it in 2018 , and sold me the car in 2020. I always promised him that I would buy the car back for him but unfortunately he passed away in 2014 so he never got to see the car restored. I know he’s smiling down on me knowing it’s in my care!

Thanks for sharing this 428 with us. Very nice car and good to hear you have kept it all those years. You and everyone at Shelby American do amazing work. Keep it the great work!

Glad to see you still have your 69 Mach1 from high school.Wish I could say that. Ive done similar upgrades to My 69 Mach, only mine was born an M code and now has a 71 Boss 351. Love your car but you need to fix those hideous tail pipes...It looks so un Mach 1..Keep up the good work at Shelby American We love all the stuff you guys do !

Awesome team & builds have the same 69 Mach 1 love your spirit

It's the stories with your cars that make them special. Thanks for sharing, Gary! this is a great, beautiful car :)

Gary, your story is identical to my story , we need to talk! I think the 69 body style is the best designed Mustang ever!!

Absolutely sweet

69 Mustang Mach 1 is by far one of the top 6 BEST LOOKING MUSCLE cars of all time. The design of it exterior and interior is decades ahead of its time, never mind for 69. Right up there with 69 Charger R/T , 69 Camaro Z-28, 70 GTX, 70 Chevelle SS and of course CUDA

Nice to see you with a personal car that’s not a Shelby, Gary. I had no idea you owned one a these! Great video! Nice job you’ve done keeping Carroll’s dream and vision alive. BIKEBOY

I bought my 69 fastback in high school with my babysitting money. Still have it.

Beautiful car. Wow. Just wondering why the black on the passenger side rocker panel doesn’t continue on to the front fender

Being that the 1969 Mach1 is my dream car,all I can say about that car is DROOOOOOOOOOL.......

69 and 70 great cars my 2013 is the best mustang I have owned 662 hp looking for a superformance gt40

You guys think any drag racing went on with that car?

Damn when someone tells me they bought a fucking Mach 1 mowing fucking lawns back then it goes to show how fucked the economy is right now
